Speaker Fetish
He sounds legit to me gentlemen. Jayboard, will you accept some Krell and Mark Levinson equipment even if its over 4 years old with no OBM? I think it would help me feel better. What do you say guys, let's send Jayboard our stuff. 
Speaker Fetish
The fetish never leaves either. I thought I was over it. HA. I was hardcore from about 1987-1994. About '94 I realized I was so busy working and coaching youth sports (3 boys) I had no time. So I downgraded (GASP). I bought nothing until 2001. I d... 
Multi channel much better than stereo?
Multichannel has its' place, I admit it makes movie watching more enjoyable. But it is not for serious listening. I recently purchased a used Proceed PAV because I thought it handled stereo much better then even the top current preamp/processors. ...

Future proof DVDA/DVD/CD/CDR player.
NO! Nice concept though. 
Cable TV / Subwoofer HUMMMMMMM
If you have a powered subwoofer, you could try floating the ground. Mondial sells what is called a MAGIC box, which is a ground isolating unit for video systems. The costs is around $100 if I remember correctly. This might be worth a try. Good luck 
Parasound HCA2200II , Yeah or No-Way!
The Parsound HCA2200II is a very good amp, I'm using it now with a Audio Research LS-1 preamp. I've also owned an Aragon 4004, it is a little smoother but lacking the bass slam and detail of the Parasound. It depends on how much power you need, th...
